Munoz (2-5) was charged with a blown save and took the loss Tuesday against the Dodgers, allowing three runs on three hits and two walks while striking out a batter over 1.1 innings.

Munoz was called upon for a high-leverage situation to face the heart of the Dodgers' order in the seventh with a runner on second and one out and the Mariners clinging to a one-run lead. He wound up giving up a double to Mookie Betts to tie the game before completing the frame. Munoz came back out in the eighth and put some traffic on the bases before eventually giving up a three-run homer to Jason Heyward. Munoz has now blown consecutive saves and has allowed a home run in both appearances. Before this latest slide, Munoz was working on a streak of 14 consecutive scoreless appearances, allowing just one hit over that span. He's still in the midst of an excellent season, posting a 1.88 ERA, 1.00 WHIP and 58:22 K:BB in 48 innings while compiling 18 saves and six holds.
